The Korea MMA Association has completed preparations to participate in next year's Asian Games by meeting the requirements to join the Korean Sports Council.

Chairman Moon Jung-hong of the Korea MMA General Association attended the Gupne ROAD FC 074 press conference held at the Grand Hotel in Hongeun-dong, Switzerland on the 26th of last month. I was asked about the Korean MMA General Association's participation in the Asian Games. What is the progress of joining the Korean Sports Council.

MMA has been adopted as an official event since the 2026 Aichi and Nagoya Asian Games. In order for Korea's MMA national team to participate in the Asian Games, the MMA Association, which is a member of the Asian MMA Association (AMMA), which oversees the Asian Games, must join the Korean Sports Council and qualify for the national team.




Chairman Chung Moon-hong said, `Asian MMA Association is in charge of MMA events at Asian Games. The association that has been active in AMMA from the beginning to the present is the Korea MMA General Association. From the beginning, I went to the chairman's name and trained in championships and referees for several years, and Yang Seo-woo, chairman of the Korean MMA General Association, is the only person in Korea who belongs to the AMMA Judgment Committee (ITO) and is qualified as an instructor to educate referees. Who in the Korean MMA community has done this for years, not me. This is a fact."

According to the current standards of the Korean Sports Association, associations with more than three members of 17 metropolitan and provincial sports associations will join the Korean Sports Association. The Korea MMA General Association has already signed up for three, so it has completed the conditions for joining the Korean Sports Council. Jeonbuk Special Self-Governing Province, Jeju Special Self-Governing Province, and Gangwon State are affiliated, and there are several other places that are currently in progress.."

Meanwhile, the Korea MMA General Association completed the selection of players by holding a national team selection match for the 2026 Aichi and Nagoya Asian Games at the Jeongeup National Sports Center last month. If the membership of the Korean Sports Council is approved, they can participate in the Asian Games.
